Stir the fermented batter gently for 1 minute. If it is thick, mix in a little reserved adjusting water until it flows easily when the kadai is turned.

Lift the kadai and turn it in a circular motion so the batter spreads around the sides and stays slightly thick in the centre. Break one egg into the centre and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low flame for 3 to 4 minutes until the egg white and yolk are set and the appam edge is lightly browned.
